Years ago, the whispers of a long-standing link-up between Nagarjuna Akkineni and actress Tabu made headlines, fueling speculation and public curiosity. But it was Amala Akkineni, Nagarjuna’s wife and an actress herself, who addressed the rumors with calm poise, choosing dignity over drama.
In a rare and heartfelt interview, Amala described her home as sacred — a place untouched by the “filthy gossip” that often circulates in showbiz circles. “I don’t allow anything unpleasant from the film industry to come in,” she said, adding, “especially not baseless rumors.” Her words not only silenced gossip but revealed the strength of the bond she shares with her husband.
Interestingly, Amala even shared her cordial bond with Tabu, calling her one of the few people from Mumbai she remains close to. “Yes, Tabu stays with us whenever she visits Hyderabad,” she added — shutting down years of speculation with one simple truth: trust.
Fast forward to today, Nagarjuna and Amala recently celebrated 33 years of togetherness at their son Akhil Akkineni’s wedding, proving once again that their relationship is rooted in love, not headlines.
